## Resource

Rebecca Sebastian , host of the Working in Yoga Podcast and founder of Inside Yoga Magazine , returns to talk with J about challenges and possibilities for yoga professionals. They discuss data that confirms an industry contraction, getting lumped in with pilates, pivoting away from owning centers, transferrable skills, trade organizations, ethics around credentialing, value of spreadsheets, decentralizing power structures, retirement plans, trend chasing, gig economy problems, and a small window for hope that is not likely to last long.
